Unique collaboration entre John Barry et le réalisateur Sydney Pollack qui a surtout travaillé avec Dave Grusin. Pour cette histoire d’amour en Afrique, John Barry invente un thème lyrique et romantique qui se révèle après un temps d’introduction puis se déploie avec douceur. Comme les sentiments des personnages, la mélodie nous attrape délicatement par surprise puis nous emporte par sa force affective. Cette partition a su rivaliser avec le célèbre concerto pour clarinette de Mozart également convoqué par Sydney Pollack.
